ParAvion Paragliding Centre has
been registered with the British Hang Gliding &
Paragliding Association (BHPA), since
1989 and is one of the biggest, most successful and highly respected schools
in the UK.
We are situated (click here) in the lovely Wiltshire countryside on the A4, just outside the market town of Marlborough. We are less than two hours drive time from central London and we can be reached from Reading, Oxford, Southampton or Bristol in under an hour.
For more details on our school and teaching methods, simply click on the red paraglider to the left marked 'School'.
Please feel free to call in anytime for a chat, a drink (our tea, coffee and soft drinks are free) or a look around our shop. Although we have most things the pilot is likely to need, there will be no pressure for you to purchase anything.
There are DVDs you can watch and books for you to look at in our classroom if we're a little busy. However, If you're travelling far and intend to make a special trip to see us, please call first and let us know. Occasionally we'll close for an hour or two (sometimes the whole day if we're all out flying), and we really wouldn't want to miss you.
The school operates seven days a week (weather permitting), but the shop and office hours are as follows:*
| Monday | 1000 |
1700 |
| Tuesday | 1000 |

* In winter, we'll sometimes close the shop at lunchtime and even all day on non-flyable weekends if we're not very busy.
ParAvion Paragliding Centre is a BHPA (British Hangliding and Paragliding Association) registered school. For more information on the BHPA visit the BHPA website at www.bhpa.co.uk
